Meet Leena....The Birthday Girl

It only seemed right to have Leena's 1st Birthday pictures done at the beach since her Mommy and Daddy were married on the beach and Danielle had her Maternity pictures taken on the beach as well.

Danielle was nervous that Leena wouldn't cooperate or sit still and I told her not to worry that we would just wing it once we got to the beach.  Well Danielle was right...Leena had a mind of her own and we just had to go with the flow of what she wanted to do.

We simply wanted a picture of everyone holding hands and walking...

well Leena didn't want to hold hands

I just love baby feet in the sand/water

The Whole Family (as my daughter would say)

Kisses for the birthday girl

And now it is time for play...after being a good girl and allowing Mommy to change her into 3 different outfits it was time to change her into her bathing suit and let her play in the water and sand for a little bit.

Happy First Birthday Leena!!!

After everything was said and done Leena was very good and cooperative....we didn't get all the pictures we wanted but hey there is always next time.

Thanks for stopping by.....
